Be Careful What You Think: In Britain, It Might Be a Crime

It seems oddly mediaeval to convict a man for his prayers.

But the British courts have defied all reasonable expectations of modern democracy by convicting a man for doing just that on the streets of Bournemouth.

Adam Smith-Connor is a military veteran who served his country in the reserves in Afghanistan. As part of his medical training, he participated in 30 abortions in 2003—actions he now deeply regrets. Adam converted to Christianity in later life, and is now deeply committed to prayer on the issue. In November 2022, he stopped to pray for a few minutes, in silence, near an abortion facility, remembering a time he had paid for an ex-girlfriend to abort his own child.

GIESBRECHT: Staggering number of churches burned, more than thought

Blacklocks reports that since 2010, when the Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) commissioners began making the claim in interviews and in interim reports that thousands of indigenous children had died at residential schools under suspicious circumstances, more than 400 Christian churches have burned in Canada.

Those allegations were false, and based on a conspiracy theory.

Thought Police: Protecting the People from Prayer

In their zeal to defend abortion at all costs, governments are beginning to criminalise silent thought. Their efforts must be resisted.

Since its earliest versions surfaced sometime in the Middle Ages, the venerable German folk song “Die Gedanken sind frei” (Thoughts are free) has been an anthem to a keystone of human dignity: freedom of thought. This song gives voice to the fact that, while oppressive authorities can forbid speech, assembly, worship, or anything else that happens outside the realm of a person’s consciousness, what goes on inside the brain cannot be stopped by anyone. In Germany, the song’s contemporary version took shape in the first half of the 19th century, expressing popular opposition to censorship and authoritarianism. Forbidden after the failed German revolution of 1848, it resurfaced in 1898 when the composer Gustav Mahler included it in his song collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Boy’s Magic Horn). In the 1930s and ’40s, the song played a role in the resistance against Nazism. In 1989, demonstrators sang it to express their demand for a peaceful transition to democracy in the German Democratic Republic.

Auditor General Probing Canada Summer Jobs Program

The Canada Summer Jobs program is currently undergoing a performance review by the Auditor General and the findings are scheduled to be reported by year’s end, according to a federal government memo.

It is the first audit since those administering the government program were accused of discrimination by Christian employers applying for Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) grants.

How many French synagogues and cathedrals can burn due to ‘incidents’?

Church Arson France – Parish of St. Paul in Corbeil-Essonnes

The authorities talk of “involuntary destruction by fire”: I suspect that these fires have the same source as the desecrated cemeteries and synagogue burnings of Bondy, Clichy, Trappes and many other Jewish places of worship in France.

November 24, 2018: Pontoise Cathedral burns.

February 6, 2019: Lavaur Cathedral burns.

March 18, 2019: the cathedral-basilica of Saint-Sulpice burns.

April 15, 2019: Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burns.

June 12, 2020: Rennes cathedral burns.

July 18, 2020: Nantes Cathedral burns.

Six great cathedrals of France set on fire.

In groundbreaking move, Poilievre campaigns among evangelical Christians

Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre went to church last Sunday, not once, not twice, but three times — to three evangelical churches in the Toronto area where he briefly participated in the services, made a short political speech and moved on.

The three churches are all in ridings held by Liberal MPs and the congregants are mostly members of ethnic minority communities, which makes these visits smart politics for a campaigning Conservative leader.

Report: DHS Group Called Being ‘Religious’ An ‘Indicator’ Of Domestic Terrorism

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) brainstormed about infiltrating local communities to spy on Americans, and suggested being “religious” or “in the military” was an “indicator of extremists and terrorism,” excerpts of documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) purportedly show.

White Christian Nationalism: Threat or mirage?

In the eyes of liberals, there is only one thing worse than Christian nationalism. It is White Christian nationalism. The addition of the adjective “White” supercharges the expression with vitriol and power, turning its followers (especially if they are male) into something everyone should love to hate.

Judging from the liberal media uproar, the dangers of White Christian Nationalism (WCN) are immense. It is systemic, found everywhere inside the culture and governing structures of American society. Should something like this triumph, it will be the end of American democracy.

ANALYSIS: The Increasing Limitations on Christians in Canada

A March 29 social media post by Veterans Affairs Canada wishing veterans a “happy March holiday season” caused quite an uproar among many politicians and veterans, who worry that the Christian Easter holiday is being purposely renamed.

“Is [Veterans Affairs] too woke to acknowledge either the cultural or religious significance of Easter?” Conservative MP Michael Barrett wrote on X on March 30. “53% of Canadians are Christian. And nobody worth worrying about is offended by wishes of a Happy Easter.”

Observers have noted increasing instances of Christians feeling sidelined in Canada in recent years.

Criminal Attacks On American Churches Up 800 Percent In Last Six Years

While the Biden administration cracks down on the Christians Democrats and the press smear as extremists, church attacks are up 800 percent in the last six years, according to a new report from the Family Research Council (FRC).

In February, the conservative group published the report, “Hostility Against Churches Is on the Rise in the United States.” It identified 915 acts of hostility against churches between January 2018 and November 2023.

Christian Nationalism: The American Revolution Versus The French Revolution

Christianity stands athwart neo-Marxists’ over-arching goal of creating an all-powerful government, free from any competing moral or ethical authority. Because America was founded on Biblical principles, neo-Marxists have to drive Christianity from the public square and uncouple America’s founding from its Judeo-Christian roots. The left’s latest effort has been to attack “Christian Nationalism.”

Christians in the Crosshairs

The Left pretends to want to save Christians from themselves.

The left hates Christians, even the liberal, nonjudgmental ones in nondenominational megachurches with pastors in skinny jeans. But because this is an election year and their presumed candidate and his vice-presidential backup option are such pathetically weak choices, the panicked left cannot afford to alienate all those Christian deplorables and drive them toward the Republican candidate. So their strategy, as always, is to divide and conquer. Thus, the left is ramping up hysteria about a segment of the Christian population they are painting as a clear and present danger to “democracy” (i.e., Democrat hegemony): Christian nationalists.
